Who has an instagram! I want to follow you!

btw, TheEatery is a great app I’ve been using on my iphone to take pictures of and keep track of things I eat. Other people can see your photos and rate them on a scale of “fat” to” fit”. Identity is hidden! It’s a great way to just see an overview of what gets into your body and being aware of it through the week!

I made some clean cinnamon swirl protein bread :) So good! It came out a little dry, but I think that’s only because I was totally expecting like a cinnabun haha.

But definitely a great option if you need to kill a sweet tooth! Found it on bodybuilding.com from Jamie Eason:

healthy-recipes-collection: Grilled Chicken with Mustard Cream...

Sun, 06 Jan 2013 16:45:00 -0800

healthy-recipes-collection:

Grilled Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce

2 cups sliced mushrooms

2-3 cloves of garlic minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon whole grain mustard

¾ cup Philadelphia reduced-fat cooking cream

4 grilled chicken breasts or thighs (about 110g each)

2-3 tablespoons of chopped parsley

Heat a large pan (medium heat)

Add olive oil and butter

Add mushrooms and garlic

When the garlic is fragrant, whisk in heavy cream and whole grain mustard.

Reduce on low for 5 minutes.

Drizzle on top of chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.

Serves: 4

Calories per serve: 226

I adapted this recipe slightly; the original asks for heavy cream but if you switch it with Philadelphia reduced-fat cooking cream it takes the serving from 317 to 226 calories.

life-with-aubrey:

As you may have noticed, I really like apple desserts. I’m constantly looking for new recipes to make healthier. As I was cleaning my kitchen the other day, I found this booklet of really delicious but really unhealthy recipes my mom had given me a few years ago. I decided to healthify the apple crumble and took the recipe from a whopping 600+ calories per serving to a more reasonable 142.

Healthy Apple Crumble
9 servings

topping-
1/3 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
5 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

filling-
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons apple pie spice (you can substitute cinnamon)
2 pounds tart apples (I used Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced

Preheat your oven to 425° and lightly mist a 13x9 baking pan or 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the topping.

Arrange the sliced apples across the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with the sugar and apple pie spice. Pour the topping evenly over the apples.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples have slightly softened and the topping is golden brown.
